Ok. It is like 6 years later and 18.04 at the door. I don't use those
two keys on Ubuntu, but the scroller wheel works as expected.

The confusing part is that `/etc/default/keyboard` lists my keyboard as
`XKBMODEL="pc105"` but I've got (17 keypad + 13 navigation + 13 F/ESC
keys) = 43 plus 62 = 105 main keys. And also there are 12 helper keys
like refresh, back, etc. + 6 media keys + 2 excel/word leys + scroller,
also clickable. So there are 125 keys without scroller and 126 with.

I found that `pc105` string comes from
`/usr/share/X11/xkb/rules/xorg.lst` so I want my keyboard to present
there too so that I can select it. I also found
`/usr/share/X11/xkb/geometry` which describes 86-key keyboard
https://www.apt-browse.org/browse/debian/wheezy/main/all/xkb-
data/2.5.1-3/file/usr/share/X11/xkb/geometry/chicony and I want to add
my keyboard with all my keys there too.

But I first, I need to find some software that allows to check all my
key mappings visually.

So far I found this description of PS/2 device discovery, which could be a good 
starting point:
